HOW WOULD YOU LIKE YOU YOUR WEEKLY GROCERY BILL TO BE UNDER $100

[albefish]

My weekly bill is always under $100 for my husband and I. I watch the sales, buy food for the week and prepare meals according to what is on sale.

I'd like to have mine be under 100.00 I go to the store about every 10-14 days and spend any where between 120.00 - 180.00. Any suggestions for a lower bill?

If you eat for 1 groceries could be under $100.00, but if there's more to feed groceries could go over $100.00. Only if gas price's could go down, then groceries would too!

I have a few repeat recipes that I go back to (honey mustard chicken is one of the favorites) where I can keep ingredients on hand, but others, like chicken fettuccine, we can't keep ingredients stocked up.
I use coupons whenever I can, and go for the store brand 9 times out of 10.
Our bill is usually between $75 and $150, but that sometimes can last us for almost two weeks! (It's just my husband and myself)

Oh, haha, yeah I guess I forgot to mention I have a family of four.  And I price match (I shop at Walmart because they offer such a wonderful thing).  And yes, I also buy enough food for the week.  I also go for the store brand often, but, for example, ranch dressing...gotta get the good stuff...Walmart's just doesn't taste right.

this is why I love living in the middle of know were with cool neighbors, I think the last time we went to the store we spent about 20 bucks, that was for the personal stuff and a few other things mostly we get are food from the land what we shoot we eat, Squirrel,deer,coon,rabbit,ect. we have a garden and greenhouse so we can get most fruits and veggies from them then we have chickens so we don't have to buy eggs we can get around a dozen or more a day, then are neighbor has around 100 head of cattle,when he butchers a cow he gives us some meat and we give him 4 or 5 dozen eggs and anything from the garden or greenhouse he needs kinda they way it use to be, and still money is tight, I guess I shouldn't complain it could be worse.     

That is just waaaaay cool!  I love how you are able to help each other out.

I just went to the grocery store today just trying to only spend $50.00 but spent $90.00 but I do two or three meals a week, but I just can't stay away from the snacks

Off the top of my head, if you google it I'm sure you could find -- I really like ranch macaroni and cheese, chili, taco salad, cheesy corn-chip skillet, nachos, ect.

If I could have a grocery bill just one week that came in at under 100.00 for the trip i would be quite happy..  However, having a meat and potato man and three sons following in his footsteps and food prices going up,what seems every week, I donot c it happening. Fortunatly, my husband makes enough money, that we can eat his favorite steaks( t-bone,and new york strip) a couple times a week, and as long as his and the boys favorites are covered there is no problem with the food budget or what the weekly bill is.
